Home Nugget #27

Due on Monday October 25, 2010
Typically, at the conclusion of each chapter of our Algebra textbook, students will craft a product known as the guide-to. Hard copies of directions are provided in class and a sample product also will be furnished in the week ahead. Essentially, the student is asked to create a review packet of certain lessons within a chapter, chosen by me for their relevance and overall importance to the curriculum.
Within this guide-to, students will have to point out the main ideas of each lesson and then create their own examples based on ones in the text, of problems or scenarios that illustrate the aforementioned topics. Finally, pertinent vocabulary must be defined and accompanied with an example of each.
The overall objective is to continue to provide a mechanism for students to reflect on and continually digest content. We wish to avoid that horrible phenomena of a school year passing and the student wondering whether they have truly learned meaningful content.
